CEAVEO® LEGALinhouse is officially released — access on direct request

From today, CEAVEO® LEGALinhouse is in regular operation: the digital legal department for your company, with published plans, a contract, invoicing and support.

Case management, contracts, deadlines, correspondence, documents, receivables and AI assistance work together in one system. The AI captures, sorts, reminds and prepares drafts; the decisions are made by the people in your company. AI processing takes place exclusively in the European Union, and pseudonymization is enabled by default: detected personal data is replaced before any text goes to the AI.

How to get access. Unlike what we announced in August, we are not opening registration to everyone straight away: in this first phase we grant every account personally. You send us a request, we agree the plan and your start with you — by e-mail or in a conversation — and you receive a personal invitation link to register. After registration we activate your company and send you a guide for getting started; if you have questions, we are there for you. The reason: we want to know every company that works with LEGALinhouse in the first weeks, and to be reachable when something does not work the way it should. We will open registration to everyone once this first phase is running well.

Who it is for. LEGALinhouse is designed for companies based in the EU or EEA that, together with their affiliated companies, employ up to 1,000 people. If your company is larger and has a high, regular demand, we are happy to discuss an individual agreement.

The contract documents (German): terms and conditions version 2.07 at servicesinhouse.de/agb, the privacy policy at servicesinhouse.de/datenschutz and price list 1.1 at servicesinhouse.de/preise; the data processing agreement version 2 is in your customer account.

We will launch PRIVACYinhouse once it has passed our tests for regular operation, and we will name the date once it is set.

Did you use LEGALinhouse during the beta? Your access and your data stay as they are, and your beta terms continue to apply. You will receive a separate message from us about the new contract documents.

Request access now. Tell us briefly who you are and what you want to use LEGALinhouse for. We reply by the next working day at the latest.

November 2026: we launch with LEGALinhouse and PRIVACYinhouse

The market launch stays in November 2026 — and it gets sharper. On launch day we open regular sign-up for CEAVEO® LEGALinhouse and the data-protection extension CEAVEO® PRIVACYinhouse. These are the two products that have been in daily production use in the closed beta since March, and the two for which we can commit to full support from day one.

PUBLISHinhouse and RECEPTIONinhouse do not go on open sale. They are currently available to partners only. The reason is not that they are half-finished but something we have learned: these products only pay off once somebody sets them up and runs them — mailboxes and rules, sources and templates, trained people, and somebody reachable for the first question. An editorial system nobody has set up is an empty editorial system. That is exactly the work our partners do every day — so we are opening these two to them first.

ACADEMYinhouse takes a different route: it will become an extension of LEGALinhouse — like PRIVACYinhouse, on the same basis and with the same accounts. Training belongs where the rules being trained are written. We will name a date once we have one.

We are building our partner programme right now. There is no dedicated sign-up page for it yet; we look after partners personally. You support companies with IT, data protection or organisation and would like to join: become a partner →. You are a company interested in PUBLISHinhouse or RECEPTIONinhouse: talk to us → — we will tell you which route is open to you.

VOICEinhouse comes out of the launch date. The core — brand voice, ad copy, SEO, campaign planning — is there. The connection to the advertising and social platforms is not. We are deliberately naming no date for it until it is finished.

Why this way: we are a small team. Putting five products on open sale at once would mean supporting five products by halves at once. A company that rests its legal department on us may expect more than that.

Update 13 Nov 2026: LEGALinhouse is released — but in this first phase we grant access personally, and registration for everyone follows later. PRIVACYinhouse does not launch with LEGALinhouse but later.

Corporations and law firms are arming up — AI and legal tech

Outside providers, AI, specialists, new headcount: in the legal departments of large companies almost every category grew last year. Almost every one — the law firm stayed exactly where it was. So the build-up happened upstream of counsel, not with counsel. And that is precisely the stage small and mid-sized companies are missing: not the AI, but the ownership. Read more →

Why I need an AI-supported online legal department

The most expensive legal matter is the one nobody recognised as a matter: the letter someone reads, files under administrative paperwork and forgets. Three months on, the claim counts as accepted and the deadline has passed. This is not a lack of diligence but a lack of ownership: where there is no legal department, nobody owns that mail. What such a department does online, where its limits are, and why an AI chat does not replace it. Read more →

All products arrive together in November 2026

It's decided: all CEAVEO products will launch together in November 2026 — LEGALinhouse (with the PRIVACYinhouse extension), PUBLISHinhouse, RECEPTIONinhouse, VOICEinhouse and ACADEMYinhouse. Originally we planned to release LEGALinhouse first in August and roll out the other products gradually. The products are already finished and in beta use — yet we want to test everything thoroughly rather than make a half-ready start. CEAVEO is a small team, and October is travel season, during which full support cannot be guaranteed. So we launch together in November. Until then we are putting the software through its paces together with our current beta customers and further interested companies. Would you like to become a beta test customer? You'll receive attractive long-term terms. Register now →

Update 27 Aug 2026: Plans have changed. LEGALinhouse with the PRIVACYinhouse extension launches in November 2026. ACADEMYinhouse follows later as a LEGALinhouse extension; PUBLISHinhouse, RECEPTIONinhouse and VOICEinhouse remain partner-only for now.

Industrial-property rights: manage & watch trademarks and domains

LEGALinhouse now manages your trademarks and domains as first-class industrial-property rights — register data, ownership and documents in one place. Renewal deadlines run automatically (trademark: 10 years, domain: annual), and a mark can be cleared before filing via a linked research case. New is the trademark watch: it checks the official registers for new, colliding third-party filings — EUIPO (EU) is live, DPMA (Germany) follows — and drops hits as leads into a review inbox; your legal department decides and opens an opposition case in one click. Grouped in the sidebar under "Schutzrechte".

When AI writes against AI — who is left to judge?

One lawyer writes with AI against the other lawyer with AI, and the judge evaluates with AI support. That is exactly where the danger lies. The EU AI Act mandates the human in the loop — and that is a good thing. At CEAVEO, human review is part of the architecture: every AI output is a draft, reviewed and taken responsibility for by a human. Read more →

All German federal law and core EU law in legal research

LEGALinhouse's legal research now covers all German federal law (4,797 acts and ordinances with roughly 98,000 sections) plus core EU regulations. The full, searchable list is publicly available under Covered laws.

ACADEMYinhouse — the AI corporate academy

ACADEMYinhouse is the platform's fifth product: an AI-powered learning-management system. Build courses from your own material, assign them to staff, run exams, and issue tamper-proof certificates — now including shareable, signed training packages.

Industry solution packs and verified contract templates

Pre-filled solution packs per industry — contracts, letters, clauses, workflows and presets — available for service providers plus software, retail/e-commerce, staffing, manufacturing and construction/trades. All system templates are verified against the legal corpus.

AI personalization — writing styles & in-house playbook

Tailor AI text to your organization: per-department writing styles (formality, length, salutation, preferred and forbidden phrasing) and an in-house playbook of your standard positions — both feed into all AI drafts, always subordinate to legal accuracy.

Data-protection management (DPMS) in LEGALinhouse

LEGALinhouse now includes a full data-protection management system: records of processing (Art. 30), technical and organizational measures, data-subject requests, breach handling with a 72-hour clock, processor agreements and training evidence — all AI-assisted, with automatic pseudonymization.

AI-Act register & AI impact assessment

Document your own AI systems under the EU AI Act: an AI-system inventory, source-backed risk classification (a human decides), and an auto-generated impact assessment including the fundamental-rights assessment (FRIA, Art. 27) — ready for the AI Act obligations that apply from 2 August 2026.

Monthly-credit plans (Start / Team / Business / Enterprise)

Four clear plans with a fixed monthly base and included CT credit. Usage beyond that is billed transparently at the plan's CT rate. Early-beta customers keep their existing terms.
